Bckstgr is a new interactive social media platform with the following claim:

Being the curious cat that I am, I thought this was one of those “too-good-to-be-true” offers, so I had to try this for myself. Thankfully, to my pleasant surprise, the bonus miles showed up in my MileagePlus account instantly when I hit refresh.

Aside from the generous sign-up bonuses, if you check out the “Earn” tab up top, you can see there are some live offers/social media challenges you can complete for some more miles. For example, if you send a tweet with your synced twitter account with hashtag #KingCafeChicago, you’ll be awarded an additional 50 miles. Feel free to play around with the site to uncover more ways to earn miles.

Worth It?

Uh… yeah! This is a total no-brainer if you don’t mind sharing your MileagePlus account info and social media profiles with Bckstgr. This is a great way to top off your account for an award redemption or easily keep your miles active/prevent them from expiring. Just as reference point, United.com sells 1,000 MileagePlus miles for $35, but I realistically value 1 UA mile at ~ 2 cents, making this offer “worth” around $20. Enjoy!

Wonder how long this will last! Am taking advantage of the tweeting and Facebook “advertising”, gotten more than 2k miles so far (including initial signup bonuses). Much better than TopGuest. Posted so many, my friends thought someone hacked my Facebook account ;)

Even worse, it posted the initial 400 to UA, but now it doesn’t recognize me during login. When I go to establish another account, it says the MP account # already used. The site crashed right as I was selecting my email and password.

Thanks for the head up. The points posted instantly. Although I did have to wait till after all the US folks had gone to bed before the site would actually load long enough for me to complete the details before crashing! :) Well worth the wait though.

I was finally able to sign up and it obviously got my name, address, etc. from my United account, but no miles posted immediately. Now if I could only figure out what I have to do to sync my Facebook and other accounts. Can someone help the social network challenged?

Follow up to my previous comment #39, I got my accounts synched. Apparently it was not working last night. I still have not received any United miles though. The sign up page had changed from the original one that kept giving an error message. It made no mention of miles for signing up. Are they not offering any miles now?

Just completed the offer and wanted to share that the United Mileage Plus miles did not post yet. The bckstgr account shows the additional miles but they have not shown up in my Mileage Plus account. It may not be instant in every case.
